TOPIC: The 'Z' on Jimmy's Cymbal in 'The Everlasting Gaze' video

The 'Z' on Jimmy's Cymbal in 'The Everlasting Gaze' video 5 years 9 months ago #30993

Is it somehow related to the 'z' (pronounced 'zed', in English ;) ) on Billy's guitar strap, in recent performances?

It's the brand of drums. Zildjians drums.

The "Z" on Billy's guitar strap is the new Zero symbol. His acoustic guitar strap has the number "0" The same symbol can be found on the new zero shirts as well.

Oooooh I like the album cover shirts. Anyone know if those will be available online soon? (Guess I can wait a month when I see 'em in Toronto but concert tees are always mega expensive.)
Every passing moment is a chance to turn it all around.

I was strongly tempted to buy the new Zero shirt, but I ended up buying a green album cover shirt instead...

The "Z" on Jimmy's cymbal in the Everlasting Gaze video stands for Zildjian Z Series (I'm a drum geek!). It's a cymbal I've never seen Jimmy use live or have heard in a recording. Backline companies usually provide instruments for videos and one off performances but it depends on what they're willing to travel with, so I imagine that's what happened. You'll notice that the drumkit on the video was scaled WAY back from the Machina Tour kit, and that's usually what they do with videos. Heck, look at the Tarantula kit on the video. Simple 4 piece kit with four cymbals. Jimmy usually plays at least a 6 piece.

So no, the Z doesn't have anything to do with Zeitgeist or Zero.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jimmy in Asheville, and he is an awesome musician and a wonderful person.

If they don't, I'm sure you can get it on ebay or amazon.
